“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.” Buckminster  Fuller

“Feelings are for the soul what food is for the body.” Rudolph Steiner

February’s New Moon is Saturday January 21.

The Sun and Moon at this time are conjunct at 1 degree of Aquarius and widely conjunct Pluto at 28 degrees of Capricorn. The Moon is also forming a favorable sextile to Jupiter , the planet of pleasure and wisdom.

This is a very beneficent New Moon in terms of innovative thinking and moving in a direction of more freedom and authenticity. The only caution – with Mercury inconjunct Mars is to avoid impulsive action. It’s best to  take your time thinking things through all the way before moving forward.

The powers of transformation and synchronicity are strong at this time and through the upcoming twenty eight day cycle.

There can be unexpected breakthroughs and revelations – particularly about the past and deep feelings about the past.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,’An unexpected thunderstorm.”

“One must choose in all things a mean, just and good. Error and confusion dwell in the extremes.” Pythagoras

“Living in balance is living in a state of grace, of delicacy, of gentleness. Only by being balanced within ourselves can we hope to balance the world.” Anodea Judith

This is considerable activity in the starry heavens this week.

Mercury  in Capricorn and Mars in Gemini will be in a challenging quincunx aspect this week indicating a time that bodes well to practice balance and moderation in speech and thought. This duo is easily irritated and can be associated with increased conflict.

There can also be more confusion about with Mercury’s station on Wednesday.

Mercury  is slowing down to station direct on  Wednesday at 8 degrees of Capricorn. This is the second planet to station direct recently – joining Mars. Uranus will make the third on the 22nd – the day after the Full Moon on the 21st. Projects and things that have been delayed or held back can start to move forward now.

The Sun in late Capricorn will be moving up to a conjunction to Pluto on Wednesday although it will be in influence all week. This is a good time to work on plans related to improving the structure of your life.

The Sun enters Aquarius on Friday with the Moon following shortly thereafter- signalling the New Moon at 1 degree of Aquarius on Saturday. More about the New Moon later in the week.

One of the Chandra symbols for this week is,”A woman strolling in a garden. She in unaware that she is watched by elves.”
